I write all that is below because I feel I should share a glimpse, and that is all it is, of what I have come home from. I share it with you not to make you jealous, but to create within you a longing for the things of God. We are too content. Thats what was revealed to me this morning at church, I called people to hunger, thirst, longing, to want to chase after Him, to see His words bear fruit. Read what God has said He will do, read what Jesus said about Himself and his kingdom and our authority, read it and then declare it. We are living with the bar set too low, we are far too satisfied and content with where we are and the tiny things we are asking for. How big is your God? I ask again, how big is your God? Sit under His waterfall, ask for Him to fill you so that you might be brimming, that you might be poured out to everyone you come into contact with. Stop being comfortable and satisfied. Divine discontent. I dare you to pray for it ;)

I talked at cell last night on Jonah and it was AWESOME, God totally took over! He gave me a dream the night before and I found myself re-enacting it when I was speaking which was so super dooper cool! He had me speak about not only what decision we make when we are in the whale but more importantly how we react when we get out of the whale, life starts to be less life threatening again etc. Do we begin once again to let flesh rise up and get angry/offended/bitter etc etc and miss our opportunity for joy like Jonah did...or do we rejoice in the grace that was extended to us and extend it to others, seeing as God does, remaining in the place of brokeness and humility, recognising Gods sovereignty, and rejoice? We have the opportunity for joy, if only we would remain low and therefore with clear perspective.

...guess who was preaching to herself?! ;)

If we could only remain low and clear perspective...
